Our take

CleanPlate review

Protein masala oats with enhancers and half a teaspoon of salt a sachet

Yoga Bar High Protein Oats Mum's Masala is instant oats (55.7%), textured soy and whey (25.1%), a seasoning of sugar, spices, salt, corn flour, black salt, hydrolysed protein, garlic, lemon and tomato powder, onion, mango, flavours, milk solids and enhancers, pink salt, seeds and carrot (1.5%), rice bran oil, yeast extract, a probiotic and citric acid.

CleanPlate scores it BB4. The B for nutrition reflects 26 g protein and 10.1 g fibre per 100 g. The B for ingredients reflects a mix of whole and refined ingredients (led by instant oats, texturised soy protein flakes and whey powder), with additives that cost points: flavouring and a flavour enhancer. The 4 for risk comes mainly from sodium (1280 mg per 100 g) and saturated fat (2 g per 100 g).

Common misconceptions

Myth: "Masala oats are a healthy snack"

The oats are; the tastemaker brings a large share of a day's salt in one bowl.

Myth: "No added sugar in a masala pack"

Savoury seasonings often carry sugar; here it is 3.5 g per 100 g.

How often, and how

  • Healthy adultsA few times a week
  • ChildrenOccasionally, half a sachet
  • Diabetes or prediabetesSuitable for sugar; watch the salt

Smarter ways to eat it

Bulk it with vegetables

Add chopped vegetables or peas while cooking: more volume and fibre for the same salt.

Add curd

A spoon of curd on top adds protein and softens the spice.
